Beautiful materials, opulent embellishments and head-turning hues, we can't find a single thing not to love about mytheresa.com's Balmain edit.

EMERGING FROM THE FRENCH

The Parisian fashion house was established in 1945 by Pierre Balmain, who presented his first collection the same year. Pierre's assemblage of garments had critics falling to their knees, due to the usage of sumptuous tones and delightful silhouettes.

Later on, in 1949, he released his first fragrance which was named Jolie Madame, and since then has been defining the feminine and powerful features of Balmain's women. The same title was also given to the brand's haute couture offering showcased in 1952. Since the passing of Pierre, iconic names such as Oscar de la Renta and Olivier Rousteing have served as the creative directors of the clothing emporium, however, the Jolie Madame legacy remained unchanged.

DRAPE YOURSELF IN BALMAIN

Nowadays, fashion redefines the norms, long gone are the times when evening soirées required a conservative dress. It's utterly acceptable to show up in a Balmain lace dress harmonised with high-heeled sandals and a Jimmy Choo glitter clutch. For those who prefer more of an androgynous nightfall attire, favour a set of slouchy tuxedo pants combined with a lace shirt. Be certain to finish up both styles with a lavish medley of stand-out jewels.

Balmain fashion is also the answer to an everyday charm. Dress an enviable Paris logo t-shirt with biker jeans and a hoodie tied around the waist for an ultimate cool girl look. Concurrently, buckle up your rock chic look in a pair of leather pants synced with a white top and a double-breasted navy blazer.
